What This Skill Does
CLI wrapper for the DataForSEO API that returns keyword metrics including search volume, CPC, keyword difficulty, and competition level. Also finds related keywords from a seed term and shows what keywords a domain currently ranks for. Outputs TSV by default to minimize token usage in agent pipelines.
TSV output keeps results compact for LLM context windows, and result caching avoids redundant API charges when the same query runs more than once.
When to use it
- Checking search volume and difficulty for a list of target keywords before writing
- Finding related keyword ideas from a seed topic to expand content coverage
- Seeing which keywords a competitor domain ranks for and at what positions
- Filtering keyword opportunities by difficulty and volume thresholds for content planning
- Running keyword research steps inside an AI agent workflow without leaving the terminal
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Research keywords for an article about AI agents
- 1Run `dataforseo-cli volume "ai agents"` to get baseline volume, CPC, and difficulty
- 2Run `dataforseo-cli related "ai agents" -n 30` to expand the keyword list
- 3Filter results for volume > 100 and difficulty < 60
- 4Run `dataforseo-cli competitor competitor-domain.com -n 20` to see what a rival site ranks for
- 5Return a prioritized keyword cluster with metrics for the article outline
A ranked list of keywords with volume, CPC, and difficulty scores ready for content planning
